dose anybody know any good sky bands the only two i know of are THE AQUABATS and reel big fish please help.
There's a few different types of ska (first wave, two-tone, third wave? I'm not sure, it's been years since I listened to ska)
Each type has a pretty distinct sound.
Check out The Specials, they're a classic two-tone band and they're awesome.
Sublime
Slightly Stoopid
maybe some De Hardheid if you can find it (small dutch band)
Big D & the Kids Table, Streetlight Manifesto, mu330, Mustard Plug, Voodoo Glow Skulls, Action Shot...
Are 311 kind of ska? Don't kill me.
who cares, 311 rocks. they do some ska, but like any other genre they defy pigeonholing.
Forces of Evil (same singer/guitarist as Reel Big Fish), The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, The Planet Smashers, The Toasters, The Slackers, Less Than Jake, Bomb the Music Industry
El Inspector
Best ska band out there.
lets not forget -The Mad Caddies-, and on that topic how about some more chill borderline ragga ska bands? you know kinnda like boss dj by -Reel big fish-, or souls for sail by -The Mad Caddies-
Skalatites, Heptones (more reggae) and other from Jamaica. If you're interested I may dig my harddrive and give you full list.
You may try modern ska like Catch 22 and Streetlight Manifesto. They are awesome.
Fabulous Rudies. Saw 'em live a while back, they're great fun. Seems like they haven't touched their website in ages though.

2 old threads about ska, with recommandations.
wow, boss dj is not by reel big fish
311 is ska reggae kind of like the urge
Real ska isn't separable from any other type of ska.
1 - 3 wave mean nothing.
Its just weather you want to call it ska, punk, rock.
Whatever. Means nothing.

Big D & The Kids Table, Streetlight Manifesto, Operation Ivy, Mustard Plug, Skankin' Pickle, Action Shot, The Skatalites...
Listen to all of those guys, and you too can be the Ska Boss.

YES.
Also, The Toasters are pretty boss. Choking Victim is more my speed -,-
Mustard Plug is great! The Specials is also one of my favorite ska bands.
I love the Aquabats.
